Matthew McConaughey honoured his idol Willie Nelson by inducting the country music star to the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame in Texas on Saturday night (26Apr14).

McConaughey was on hand to fete fellow Texas native Nelson at the glitzy ceremony, saying of the veteran musician, "There would be no Austin City Limits without Willie Nelson".

The show, held at the University of Texas at Austin campus, also featured tributes to Nelson from fellow country stars Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett, who performed a number of his hits, while other inductees included the late Stevie Ray Vaughan and blues rock band Double Trouble.
